The games themselves are often full of monsters designed to be as unappealing as possible, while the lumpen protagonists are seldom any better. Games like Infinity Nikki and the cosy games movement are making inroads into prettiness, but that\u2019s never going to stop the industrial design of motherboards and GPU cards from allowing form to follow function.<\/p>\n<p>And while internal components may be utilitarian, peripherals are often worse. When was the last time you saw an attractive printer? External drives tend to be nothing more than black rectangles\u2014though recently we\u2019ve seen them in red and silver too\u2014so it\u2019s actually something of a thrill to open a package that contains a drive shaped like a little pillow, perfect for resting your head on if you\u2019re about 12-inch tall, and which is such a pretty shade of blue that, combined with its speed, it feels as if Sonic the Hedgehog has been frozen in carbonite.<\/p>\n<p>The LaCie Rugged Pro 5 SSD looks like it needs to be inflated with a little pump before you go on holiday, perhaps for use in the pool or some sort of dreadful campsite where a man with a guitar sings by a fire.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, the only in-tents thing about this drive (geddit?) is the speed at which it can transfer data. The Pro 5 comes with a Thunderbolt 5 interface, one better than the sockets on even the best motherboards and laptops we\u2019ve seen recently outside of an Apple showroom. The latest version of the tech offers up to 120 Gbps of bandwidth in one direction, or 80 Gbps bi-directionally, twice the speed of Thunderbolt 4. It still uses the USB Type-C connectors that have been confusing people since Thunderbolt 3, even though they\u2019re meant to make things easier.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Rugged Pro 5 specs<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"kZZCjApcVo2ehNGuzcXUfd\" name=\"_DSC1227\" caption=\"\" alt=\"The LaCie Rugged Pro 5 in blue on a laptop and on a white background.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lacie-rugged-pro-5-ssd-review.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 2 TB\/4 TB<br \/><strong>Interface: <\/strong>Thunderbolt 5<br \/><strong>Dimensions: <\/strong>17 x 65 x 98 mm<br \/><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 150 g<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LaCie-Rugged-External-Thunderbolt-speeds-5300MB\/dp\/B0DJ9K7PJK\" target=\"_blank\">$350<\/a>\/<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/LaCie-Rugged-External-speeds-STNA2000400\/dp\/B0DJ9K7PJK\/ref=sr_1_4\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a3330<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Speaking of Thunderbolt 3, this drive doesn\u2019t support it\u2014you\u2019ll need TB4, USB4 (you can try a slower USB port, but it must provide 15 W of power, which will be a stretch as USB 3.1 offers just 4.5 W), or TB5. It\u2019s so complicated that LaCie has a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seagate.com\/gb\/en\/support\/kb\/lacie\/lacie-rugged-ssd-pro5-compatibility\/\" target=\"_blank\">whole web page<\/a> up to step you through its needs. You\u2019ll need Windows 11 23H2 or higher too, or a Mac running Sequoia if that\u2019s more your thing.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the best speeds will come from connecting it to a TB5 port, and it\u2019s because of the relative scarcity of Thunderbolt 5 kit that this drive has been sitting on my shelf for over a month, waiting for a suitable computer to come along to test it with. If you\u2019re going to test the fastest drive, you\u2019re going to want to put it in the fastest port, just as you wouldn\u2019t put a Crucial T705 in a PCIe 3.0 slot.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the LaCie Rugged Pro 5\u2019s box is precisely one accessory\u2014a very short cable. It\u2019s probably meant for Mac users who keep their computer on their desk, or to dangle from an iMac, but if your tastes run more to towers then it\u2019s just not going to be long enough to reach around the back. Luckily, you can pick up a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Cable-Matters-107062-P-CMI-Thunderbolt\/dp\/B0D74548J7\" target=\"_blank\">1m Thunderbolt 5 cable<\/a> from Amazon for the low price of \u00a337, or \u00a370 if you buy it from Apple.

In our tests with TB5, that claim holds up, with AmorphousDiskMark (a CrystalDiskMark-alike that runs on a Mac, as this is where the majority of TB5 ports are to be found at the moment) showing peak read speeds of 6956.33 MB\/s and writes of 5272.78 MB\/s. Which is pretty good, though we did notice the drive getting hot while it did its speedy thing.<\/p>\n<p>Connecting the drive to Thunderbolt 4 means transfer rates of 3941.73 MB\/s read and 2919.5 MB\/s write, while USB4 brings this down to 1941.6 MB\/s read and 1469.6 MB\/s write. Slowest of them all was USB 3.2 10 Gbps, which popped up a warning about power draw before recording speeds of 803.5 MB\/s read and 687 MB\/s write.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2000px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"8BacvcYTAU5mn7u8v7MHhd\" name=\"_DSC1233\" alt=\"The LaCie Rugged Pro 5 in blue on a laptop and on a white background.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lacie-rugged-pro-5-ssd-review-6.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For context, the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/ssds\/adata-sd810-portable-ssd-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Adata SD810<\/a> is capable of 2,003 MB\/s peak read, and 1,739 MB\/s peak write, but requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2&#215;2 port to do it with.

At three times faster than its closest competition, the LaCie Rugged SSD is absolutely screaming along, though in the same way PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs have little effect on gaming load times, we suspect such a fast external drive might not bring about a revolution in game responsiveness. Where it will make a difference is in backing up your game installations to make space on your internal SSD, or offloading gigabytes of captured video footage after a streaming session.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Buy if&#8230;<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><strong>\u2705 You spend your time hiking dusty mountain trails with a Red V-Raptor:<\/strong> It\u2019s not a drive made for storing your Steam library on, though it will do this magnificently well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Don&#8217;t buy if&#8230;<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><strong>\u274c Literally anything else will do: <\/strong>If the drive is going to spend its life in nothing worse than a dusty bedroom, spend a tenth of the money on something else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As it\u2019s a drive with \u2018Rugged\u2019 in its name, you might expect it to be able to stand up to some punishment. The Pro 5 is IP68 rated for ingress protection, which is the same as many modern smartphones that can stand up to a dunk in the pool or a good wash as long as it\u2019s not too deep or for too long. The USB-C port is an obvious point of entry for water, and while I wasn\u2019t going to take it in the bath with me to test it, as the drive is intended for people who make 8K documentaries in deserts I\u2019m gonna go out on a limb and suggest it\u2019s sealed.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a drive for gamers, exactly, and we\u2019re experiencing the same diminishing returns as we do with PCIe 5.0 SSDs that plug into the latest motherboards. If you can get your hands on a gaming laptop with Thunderbolt 5 ports\u2014MSI will sell you a Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Norse Myth that\u2019s equipped with them for \u00a36,200\u2014then an extra 4 TB of supremely fast storage may be worth the cost. For the rest of us, loading times from USB 3.2 Gen 2 drives are fast enough that you\u2019re not left twiddling your thumbs.<\/p>\n<p>Drives like this should perhaps be left to the desert-based documentary makers, but damn they\u2019re fun to play with.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/ssds\/lacie-rugged-pro-5-ssd-review\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The word \u2018pretty\u2019 isn\u2019t one that comes up too often in PC Gamer.
